Personal dignity?

Some of us learn better lessons.

I have become aggressively more anti-capitalist as I've grown older. At 56, with a nice professional career mostly behind me, I am vigorously ANTIFA EAT THE RICH ACAB.

What happened in Twoteen Twooty Two?

Yep, it's one of the most annoying thing about the site.

Reading this on Boost for Lemmy, which I'm glad exists, since Boost was my Reddit app of choice.

People who tell you to do scrum correctly are themselves not doing scrum correctly.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

Guess I'm a robot.

The real crime here is downloading Chrome.

People responding to the meme that needing cars isn't evil, and is required for many areas, are missing the point of the meme.

The meme is complaining about areas we built that can exist as they are only if everyone owns a car. If we weren't so consumerist, and if white people could better tolerate living near black people, we wouldn't have so much of the population living in suburban areas where cars are so necessary. A lot more people would live in circumstances where public transport is more viable for them.

And, of course, some shade thrown at the car buyers who buy comsumptively-extreme cars to do piddling stuff in. The number of basic sedans that can be had with 200+hp engines, or F150 pickups with massive gas-guzzling engines, that only get used for surface road driving one or two people around, is pretty ridiculous.

The main wrong thing about the meme is that it's assuming our situation was created specifically so that evil corporations could sell cars and gas... no, they're profiting from, and exacerbating, the problem of white flight from cities. Most of the country's problems come in large part from racism first, and then profiteering on top of that.

It's amazing Canter & Siegel were the most hated people on the Internet at one time...
